Let's hope that's true , I need more than 3 inches of ice under these old bones

speaking of old bones, I spoke to my resident friend Hunts2 long on Great Sag, He told me the boys are out on 3 to 5" of Ice On the 18th of this month they will measure the ice thickness at sinclare point It needs to be 9" by then for them to hold the challenge.figuring it will be at least 12" by the 30th,After this rain sunday Its not going to be above freezing for more than a week ,that should do it

57 at noon. Drop the wife of for grocery shopping, then take in some football. Black Pond was all locked up yesterday. 1/2 inch or so. At least it's ready to go once the cold sinks in. No more rain please. Anyone do a drive by on Highland, Winch or Park Pond? Get my butt out of gear and get out next weekend.

I'm thinking we should be good to go most places this coming weekend. The forecast looks cold enough, especially Wednesday. I'm looking forward to it.

My son and I walked out of cabela's around 9:45 this morning into what looked like a mini hurricane; dark grey skies, strong winds and a sideways downpour. Glad it's winding down so we can get back to the business of making ice.

So here's a fun question to consider as we all jump back into the work week; where are you all going to try first, once things get back to safe?

For me, it'll probably be Mansfield, Mashapaug or Gardner.

I would like to try Gardners , but past experience says it won't be ready

imsafanct · « **Reply #249 on:** Jan 10, 2016, 02:05 PM »

I need my first eye bug! Whether it's this weekend or not, Ill be in the ice at Gardner at least once this winter.

I got 33 in Stratford right now so hopefully up north it's a little colder. When I get out of work around 4-5 in the am I hope the temps will be in the 20s like they say!!!

Dave N. · « **Reply #254 on:** Jan 11, 2016, 09:48 PM »

Zero ice on Batterson anymore....nearly 2" before the rain.....whippin wind today can't even skim....hopefully wind dies down cause the temps are where they need to be to make good ice....still planning for this weekend.....somewhere north...

19 in South Windsor this morning, the back pond is frozen over again after almost completely thawing during the rain, I'm going to try and get out there tonight or tomorrow morning to check thickness.

bugchazer · « **Reply #261 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 07:58 AM »

19 in taftville gonna check small ponds later ,maybe this wken

octanehi5 · « **Reply #262 on:** Jan 12, 2016, 05:12 PM »

just dropped to freezing at 6pm, snow with these dropping temps should help freeze our waters

octanehi5 · « **Reply #263 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 06:18 AM »

18 * Will make ice all day

bugchazer · « **Reply #264 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 06:40 AM »

Cold enough for ice but this wind isn't going to help

fishndog · « **Reply #265 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 07:14 AM »

19° in Newtown this morning and very windy!

eiderz · « **Reply #266 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 07:26 AM »

20 this morning, it didn't appear that the local ponds had any more ice than yesterday. Barely a dusting of the white stuff on the lawn.

sploke · « **Reply #267 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 07:27 AM »

30 in South Windsor this morning, the pond has ice but less than an inch. Spud punched right through no problem. Forecast doesn't look like solid ice making weather here anytime soon either.

octanehi5 · « **Reply #268 on:** Jan 13, 2016, 02:58 PM »

We should start a thread titled "How windy is it?" It's killing us right now.
